The Three Metamorphoses | Friedrich Nietzsche How to Find Yourself

The Three Metamorphoses are the Friedrich Nietzsche how to find yourself recipe - it charts the three major metamorphoses we must go through when seeking to find yourself. These are the camel the lion and the child. The Three Metamorphoses is a chapter in the masterpiece of Nietzsche Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
In this legendary chapter, Friedrich Nietzsche outlines the three metamorphoses that occur on the path to self-actualization. These are the three transformations from man into camel into the dragon-slaying lion and finally into the child who achieves the transvaluation of all values (aka the revaluation of all values).
Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the philosophy of Nietzsche are inexorably bound together. This was the book that Friedrich Nietzsche most believed in and adored. It transformed his inner world and this story of Nietzsche's Three Metamorphoses is pivotal to that transformation. This is the cornerstone of his advice to become who you are. So let's dive in and see Nietzsche's recipe for how to find yourself by looking at the camel child baby of Nietzsches Three Metamorphoses.

Really interesting and well explained breakdown of one of my favorite parts of Nietzsche's philosophy. Thanks for the video!

This is one of the most powerful teachings in all of eternity and the essence of Neitzche's project. I'll offer one personal antidote regarding The Child. My mother taught pre-K children for most of her life. On occasion I would watch her interact with her students. On Monday's she would ask the children what they did on their weekends. The first child would say, "My daddy killed a big snake that was in our swimming pool." Invariably, all the other children would say that their daddies, too, killed a big snake in the swimming pool over the weekend. At first glance, it seems as though the children are trying to one-up each other, but this isn't the case. For these very young children, they see no difference between themselves and the world: so, what happens to you happens for them. The children aren't lying; they are operating from a a greatly expanded epistome ( they are not aware they are seeing thing this way, however), whereas the camel and the Lion must operate inside a more limited epistome to survive. A child won't last long on the savannah seeing the lion as themselves. If we are lucky enough to reach this final child stage, self-consciousness and cosmic consciousness are unified and the seeming paradox between the two melts away like the witch from the Wizard of Oz. I've said too much. Great show!!!

I have found that it is cyclical, a continuous transformation that happens throughout your life when learning and mastering new skills.

Philosophy should be taught at a much younger age overall, and this knowledge you speak of, understanding how the world and your own mind work could bring about the next step of our evolution which you have talked about in other videos. That is to say, keep grinding on these videos my Camel friend, your thumbnails are awesome, content even better. You're going to explode in 2021, don't go getting a big head on us.

Interesting too the end of 2001: a space odyssey ends with the star child to the song “thus spoke Zarathustra” epic

How to find my true self ?

My true self is de only part of me that wants to grow:

I am that which wants to master congfu.


Let the youthful soul look back on life with these questions:
1. What have I truly love up to now ?
2. What have elevate my soul and at the same time master it ?
3.

Place these venerated objects in a row.

Through their pattern in the sequence,
A law—
A fundamental law of my true self will emerge because my true self lies not hidden deep within me,
But immeasurably high above me.

De knight of faith is a dancer with high elevation.

Whose is that quote about time being like a child playing blocks?

It certainly interesting thoughts absolutely children are not burden by the old dogmas or old belief systems until we make them to loose they innocence with all the nonsense we pick up through the life and pass it on to them.
